As our human labor loses economic value (and for realizing some of that shift the AI companies must brainwash people into believing that their AIs are human-like) people will reach for other sources of self-worth. Religious philosophy, and being made “in the image of God” (imago Dei) is a prominent one. What I find more than a little disquieting is that the AI companies seem to have grasped the relevance of this future playing field ahead of the rest of us. I hope these troublesome thoughts are a figment of some feverish dream of mine[^1] and nothing else.
